Renee Swanson is the charming host of The Covert Narcissist Podcast. We discuss the complexities of narcissism, undiagnosed ADHD, addiction, emotional dysregulation and how they may look the same but are very different. Renee explains the differences between overt and covert narcissism, the impact on their relationships and the impact on children raised in such environments. Can narcissistic traits manifest in everyone? Is your partner a covert narcissist? Better yet, are you a covert narcissist?
